Miami Smokers

Up in Smoke

A Little Havana Deli for All Things Pork

... and the guys behind Miami Smokers, a local outfit that’s hell-bent on curing, smoking and
doing unspeakably delicious things to slabs of heritage-breed pork, soft-opening Monday. (This way
to the slideshow.)

Meet Andres and James. They’re the duo behind this operation. Yep, just two locals with a hankering for a
properly smoked slab of pig. You get it.

Previously, you could only sample their wares at a handful of spots around town. But now, they’ve gone and
created their own shop with wood-paneled walls, barrels for aging ale and vinegar, and a beer-bottle
chandelier hanging overhead. It’s a good look.

Now, along with curing slabs of bacon, they’re instituting the city’s first dry-aged pork program.
Loins, chops... all waiting for you to take home. But you’ll also find salami, prosciutto, fresh sausage
and, yes, their infamous candied bacon and bacon-studded Rice Krispies Treats.

Oh, and good news: they’re working on transitioning from a deli to a full-fledged sandwich shop.
